Firoz Shah Tughlaq is remembered for implementing several welfare measures, one of which was providing systematic employment to the unemployed. He initiated massive developmental projects: construction of canals, mosques, madrasas, gardens, rest houses, bridges and new towns. These undertakings required large labour forces and Firoz purposefully recruited people lacking work. He believed the state should support its subjects by offering livelihood opportunities, thereby reducing social unrest. He also established workshops (karkhanas) where artisans, craftsmen and labourers were employed. This policy not only strengthened the Sultanate’s economic infrastructure but also contributed to maintaining public order and administrative goodwill.
